A brief history of Printemps de Pérouges
Enchanted three sisters: Marie, Elsa and Anne-Lise. One day Marie, opera singer, launched the idea of a classical music festival in the church-fortress of Pérouges. She probably did not imagine that this highlight would become 25 years later, a unmissable event in Ain.
Small festival will become big…
Le Perouges Spring today it is an organization led by a passionate team. To support them: a solid technical team and a plethora of loyal volunteers – and on the job! And it is necessary to manage each edition the logistics, the public and the dozens of artists of the festival.
The great idea of a festival designed “around the voice” has become a great adventure that continues to delight festival-goers. Especially since the concert venues and their surroundings are not lacking in charm. Starting with the unbeatable, medieval town of Pérouges !
Did you know? All concerts take place outside the village of Pérouges, about 10 km around the town. For what ? Because the historic center is far too small to host an event of this scale!
